โ€œSpace trooper equiped with a portable Archimedian mirror gun that shoots photons at deadlier speed than CERN.โ€
—In-game description in the Definitive Edition

The Laser Trooper is a cheat unit in Age of Empires. Once the code is typed, the unit spawns immediately at the Town Center. Building a new Town Center automatically spawns the unit at that Town Center. The Laser Trooper has the appearance of a futuristic looking spacesuit armed with a laser gun. It is also available in the Scenario Editor (Definitive Edition only).

It fires a ray of red light like the Mirror Tower, although at a much quicker attack rate. The trooper attacks every 1/5th of a second, dealing 15 damage per hit and 75 per second. Despite its superior stats compared to a standard unit making it hard to destroy, its stats cannot be upgraded and it is vulnerable to conversion.

It looks identical to the Photonman in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Before Return of Rome, it shared its appearance with Nuke Trooper, after its release Nuke Trooper received a distinct look.

Trivia[]

  • When it dies, the unit falls backward twice prior to disappearing. Unlike other units, it disappears immediately without any remains decomposing. Other units that share this unique feature include its relative, the Nuke Troopers. The Winsett's Z and its derivative also have this ability, although with a different death animation.
